Bob Caulfield, President & CEO of Jefferson’s Ferry Life Plan Community

Communities that serve older adults are changing in large part because our residents are changing. The silent generation is the majority population of Life Plan communities like Jefferson’s Ferry. Members of the greatest generation also call Jefferson’s Ferry home, and the baby boomers are not far behind. Our goal is to meet the needs and desires of all residents. Most residents want to remain independent and active, with a focus on health and wellness and an expectation of care. Life Plan communities are reconfiguring their campuses to offer additional programs and services and adding apartments to meet an increased demand for this independent lifestyle.Jefferson’s Ferry will complete our 5-yearJourney Toward Renewal in 2024. We’ve added independent living apartments; expanded fitness programs; increased dining experiences; and opened a larger arts center, game room and spaces for get togethers with neighbors, family and friends. The physical therapy and rehabilitation suite is expanded and newly outfitted, and a state-of-the-art memory support wing with a spacious, flowing floor plan lets residents stroll around their neighborhood, enjoy family gatherings and secure outdoor spaces. What continues to shape Jefferson’s Ferry is the commitment to fostering a sense of home, community, caring and peace of mind, knowing their health care needs will be met.
